- the metal casing mounts around the insulated housing.
- the receptacle connector transmits data steady at a high rate.
- FIG. 1 is a front, bottom perspective view of a receptacle connector in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded rear, bottom perspective view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 1 without a casing.
- FIG. 3 is an exploded front, top perspective view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 4 is a partially exploded front, bottom perspective view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 6 is a cross sectional front view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 7 is a cross sectional side view of a lower insulated housing and first and second contact pins along line 7 - 7 in FIG. 4 .
- FIG. 8 is a cross sectional side view of a lower insulated housing and first and second contact pins along line 8 - 8 in FIG. 4 .
- FIG. 9 is a bottom, front perspective view of the receptacle connector in FIG. 1 .
- a receptacle connector ( 1 ) in accordance with the present invention corresponds to a plug, is mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) and comprises an insulated housing ( 11 ), five first contact pins ( 12 ), four second contact pins ( 13 ) and a metal casing ( 14 ).
- PCB printed circuit board
- the insulated housing ( 11 ) comprises an upper housing ( 111 ) and a lower housing ( 112 ).
- the upper housing ( 111 ) comprises a longitudinal body ( 1111 ) and a transverse protrusion ( 1112 ).
- the longitudinal body ( 1111 ) has a front end and an inner surface.
- the transverse protrusion ( 1112 ) is formed on the inner surface of the longitudinal body ( 1111 ), protrudes down and has a distal edge, two sides, plural mounting holes ( 11121 ), four second contact pin holes ( 11122 ), plural locking notches ( 11123 ) and two alignment notches ( 11124 ).
- the mounting holes ( 11121 ) are formed in the distal edge of the transverse protrusion ( 1112 ).
- the second contact pin holes ( 11122 ) are parallel to the longitudinal body ( 1111 ).
- the locking notches ( 11123 ) are formed respectively on the sides of the transverse protrusion ( 1112 ).
- the alignment notches ( 11124 ) are formed on the transverse protrusion ( 1112 ) opposite to the mounting holes ( 11121 ).
- the inner surface of the upper housing ( 111 ) has plural parallel grooves ( 11111 ) and plural parallel channels ( 11112 ).
- the lower housing ( 112 ) is connected to the upper housing ( 111 ) and comprises a longitudinal body ( 1121 ) and a transverse protrusion ( 1122 ).
- the longitudinal body ( 1121 ) has an inner surface, is provided with plural first holes ( 11211 ), second holes ( 11212 ) and an abutting element ( 11213 ).
- the abutting element ( 11213 ) mounts on the surface and corresponds to the abutting holes ( 11121 ) of the upper housing ( 111 ).
- the transverse protrusion ( 1122 ) is formed on the surface of the longitudinal body ( 1121 ) and comprises plural terminal passages ( 11221 ).
